According to UBS, Taiwan's tech exports are set to give the economy a major boost – they predict growth jumping from 1.1% in 2023 to 3.1% in 2024. The British Office Taipei released its "British Business Survey" on February 1st, and it shows that 78% of British businesses surveyed are optimistic about Taiwan’s economy. Taiwan has been steadily improving its digital trade and investment landscape, creating a strong foundation for foreign businesses to succeed.
Additionally, German businesses in Taiwan are deepening their development in Taiwan by continuing to increase investments in employee training, business expansion, and production equipment in Taiwan. According to the “2023/2024 German Business Confidence Survey Report,” German businesses expressed their intention to invest in Taiwan over the next two years. Taiwan’s stable and positive economic outlook, coupled with its safe living environment, makes it an attractive destination for foreign professionals seeking a stable place to live and work.
Taiwan is making waves on the international stage. Transparency International’s 2023 “Corruption Perception Index for 2023,” Taiwan ranked 28th out of 180 countries worldwide, placing 6th in the Asia-Pacific region.
Additionally, the Heritage Foundation’s 2024 “Index of Economic Freedom” puts Taiwan at an impressive 4th place out of 184 global economies. This marks Taiwan’s third consecutive year at the top of the “economic freedom” rankings, showing a real commitment to building an open and dynamic economic system.
A Malaysian Working in Taiwan: Ample Opportunities & High Remuneration
In this issue, we interviewed Ho Jin Ming from Malaysia, a graduate who majored in the Department of Radio, Television, and Film at Shih Hsin University. Having spent a decade in Taiwan, he previously served as an English editor for three years and currently works as an SEO copywriter.
Jin Ming mentioned several factors that influenced him to stay and work in Taiwan. First, he highlighted excellent job prospects and Taiwan’s comparatively high salary level when compared with Malaysia for the same position. Second, he views Taiwan as having more job opportunities and avenues for career development. Last but not least, his experience as a host on a radio program allowed him to further engage with Taiwanese people and society. In his opinion, Taiwan is one of the safest and most convenient places to live in the world.
While Jin Ming was working as an editor, he completed the TEFL program to make him more competitive in the local job market. His advice for those looking for jobs in Taiwan is to engage in self-study with free online resources. Additionally, he recommends the job matchmaking platform Contact TAIWAN, to help job seekers find opportunities. At the end of the interview, Jin Ming said that he would spend another decade here, exploring Taiwan's natural beauty in different ways.

We highlight Malaysia’s current talent status with key indicators in the IMD World Talent Ranking and the QS World University Rankings.

In the IMD World Competitiveness Rankings 2023, Malaysia was ranked 27th out of 64 countries globally. The economic performance of Malaysia ranked 7th with notable achievements in areas such as competitiveness in living and costs of doing business, the ratio of exports to GDP, and foreign direct investment.
(2) IMD Talent Competitiveness
Regarding talent competitiveness, the 2023 IMD Global Talent Competitiveness Rankings ranks Malaysia as 33rd among 64 countries globally. The three main assessment categories were talent readiness (26th), attraction and retention of talent (30th), and investment in and development of talent (40th).
(3) QS World University Rankings
In the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Ranking 2024, Malaysia has 19 of the world’s top 1,000 universities. In the field of Engineering and Technology, the highest-ranking Malaysian university is the University of Malaya (UM) (65th), followed by University of Technology Malaysia (UTM) (99th).
Malaysia has a deep pool of talented college graduates, especially in high-demand fields like information and communications technology (ICT), science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This makes them a great resource for businesses seeking high-tech talent to support their local operations in Taiwan. Looking ahead, Malaysia is poised to become a major power in the high-tech industry, attracting both investment and skilled workers to Taiwan.
